Why single out Nas? 95% of rappers in historywhen they talk about moving keys. Nobody was shytting on ross for his coke raps before the CO shyt. If Ross hadn't been found out as a CO he would have gotten a pass just like every rapper ever
The only reason I single Nas out is because this is an album where we not only have an album that proceeded it where he wasn't rapping like he was some heavy street cat, but we also have multiple albums that came after it where he dropped the act(when mafioso died. Coincidence right?) and went to be a regular ole nikka. Not only that, but this album is held in high regard, while Ross gets criticized for the same shyt.
Just another example of fickle rap fans
as fukk... Get some pu$$y, dawg. It's only music.
i respect what hes done in the game, he puts in mad work and has one of the best runs ever. i jus cant feel his delivery
just think about that..
and he continues to do it, even after he's been outed as an ex-co, which just makes his whole image seem corny and forced. of course he's one of the top guys in the game right now so it gets overlooked and the production and quality of his music compensates for his mediocrity on the mic. but at the end of the day nas is telling the same story you see in movies just rapping it. rick ross is saying that is his real life story.
And Ross isn't?
. After Illmatic every Nas albums was dikk riding wave after wave until Stillmatic
